    Sergio wasn't even good enough to get PT on a crappy SAC team with a coach who likes to run.

    He was racking up DNPs like crazy - and all the while the Sergio fanboys were making excuses about why the Kings NEEDED to play Evans to justify his high draft position and NEEDED to play Beno Udrih because he makes more money than Sergio.

    Just like they always made excuses for him in Portland.

    Newsflash! When you're good, you don't need excuses. When you're the third best PG on one of the worst teams in the league, that speaks volumes for your worth as a player.

    I assume your joking, because Andre Miller is 10x the player Sergio Rodriguez will ever be.

    Miller's career FG% is 0.449. Sergio's is 0.404. Miller's career TOV% is 16.3, Sergio's is 22.8. Miller's career DRtg is 108. Sergio's is 110. Millers career PER is 18.0. Sergio's is 12.9.

    Miller is better on all accounts - and he's done it his whole career as a starter playing against the best PGs in the league - not as a 3rd string, garbage time stat padder.

    Nope. Dislike his game. Don't hate him.

    I also dislike so-called fans who root for our current players to fail and our former players to succeed - just so they can someday, possibly say "I told you so".

    He has a career high 6 steals in 26 minutes tonight. Unfortunately, neither he nor his teammates can buy a bucket. And no one can seem to stop Bogut.

    I'm watching that game on atdhe.net and man (steals aside) his on-ball defense is brutal.

    It's nothing new. No one on that team plays D.

    And Al Harrington might be the most selfish player in the NBA.

    1. Paul Westphal is a crappy coach.
    2. Paul Westphal knows his career is tied to the GM's prize rookie. Who is a PG.
    3. The other PG is paid a lot more and can play off the ball while Evans dominates it.
    4. Sergio played a lot more earlier in the season. And Sacramento won a lot more. Since Sergio was glued to the bench, Sacto's record is a lot worse.

    Oh, hey, I'm a fanboy!

    While clearly your answer is that Nate's a great coach, because everybody he benches deserves it, right? Are you a secret McMillan fanboy?

    So, when Miller was behind Blake in the Blazers' rotation he was bad, but now he's good? And last year Bayless was worse than Sergio, because he was behind him in the rotation? And I guess Sergio is now good because he's starting?

    I just tuned in. Sergio drove all the way to the hoop --- and passed up the layin to pass it back out to Gallinari. I know Bogut has 5 blocks, but come on Sergio, shoot the thing. :lol:

    Final line: 4pts, 2-8fg, 1ast, 3turns, 8 steals in 29 minutes. He got his teammates plenty of WIDE OPEN looks, but they were bricking.

    In the few minutes I saw it was: wide open shot -- clank on front of the rim; wide open shot -- clank on front of rim; wide open shot -- clank on front of rim. Hilarious. The Garden was like a morgue. The boos sounded like zombies groaning. :lol:

    Re: OT: Sergio a starter for NY!

    +/- for one game doesn't mean much. I mean, Roy was like -21 last night, but he was clearly our most effective player late in the game.

    Sergio needs some trust from his coach. He's still playing a bit conservatively. But he's a clear upgrade over Duhon.

    And the Knicks, who play at one of the fastest paces in the league scored a whopping 67 points with Sergio running the show.

    Yeah, that went well.

    Are you under the impression that that comment showed so much insight it was worth repeating? If so, you are definitely in need of excuses.
